I had an interview on July 1, 2025 and RFE on September 26, 2025 and no decision yet. So you've had 3 interviews, this is tiring.

@w w I’m just hoping for the best if they don’t approve me in the next 24 days I would be eligible for a 10 year that’s what I really need I don’t ever wanna go though this process again I’m depressed and overwhelmed

Newark can be a bit slow, so what you’re seeing is pretty normal. After they receive your RFE response, it’s common to have a quiet period while the case goes back into review. Most people see some kind of update in about 30 to 90 days, but it can take a bit longer depending on workload. Usually it goes like this: status updates to “RFE response received,” then nothing for a while, and then the next step is either an interview notice or approval. If you’re still within that window, there’s nothing to worry about yet. If it goes past 90 days with no movement, then it makes sense to follow up. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!. - Attorney Rami Lee (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.
